Did you know 59% of adolescents age 12 to 19 have tooth decay in their permanent teeth, according to a National Healthy and Nutrition Examination Survey? 

A smile is your greeting to the world. Make it a healthy and welcoming one by following good dental hygiene practices. Hy-Vee has all the ingredients you need for a sensational smile!

  2. If You Have Sensitive Teeth...

  3. If You Need Help Controlling Plaque...

    Twice-a-day brushing is just the start. To prevent plaque, it pays to floss daily to remove food particles.

  4. If You Want Fresher Breath...

  6. If You Want to Get Your Kids to Take Care of Their Teeth...

    Kids need encouragement to take care of their teeth. And those under 6 need instruction on technique as well. Hy-Vee has a variety of dental care products to help foster good habits.
